Is it normal to have to wet my hands first?

7 Comments

When I get something on one hand that's not disgusting or anything (like food), sometimes I just quick run over to the bathroom or kitchen sink and operate the knob with one hand and rinse off the gunk with my other hand. This presents a problem because when I dry that hand off I have a sequence of exact how I dry my hands off that scrubs both hands. If I scrub my dry hand with a dry towel, it feels terrible. It's like the touch version of nails on a chalk board for me. Inevitably, I end up getting the other hand wet just so that I don't feel that chafing of the towel on my dry hand when I dry them. Does anyone else do this?

    I don't know. But I have a thing where if ... Say, I am rinsing out a cup and that hand gets wet, I just have to go ahead and wet the other hand. I don't know, but there is something about one hand wet, and one hand dry that drives me so mad if I do not wet that other hand! Weird!!!

    As a cook in a pro kitchen, you learn to keep one hand dirty, one hand clean. The clean one holding your knife of course. I still wash both hands just like i still manage to get both hands dirty sometimes. The idea is that you only have so many DRY towels, which in a hot kitchen is SO necessary when moving a searing hot pan handle or etc.

    Sounds more like you are obsessive-complusive which is a kind of mental/personal disorder. But seriously though in this day and age, wiping you butt every time you take a shit can be considered as obsessive compulsive too. So, maybe it isnt "normal" but, at least i could shake your hand knowing you didn't, "jizz" on it recently...

    Yes. I also always wash both hands, never just one.

    It feels better if both hands are equally clean, equally moist, etc.
    Wet hands do also feel better do feel better on a towel than dry hands, but I don't really hate it like you do.

    Not cleaning my hands when I'm in the bathroom feels like a wasted opportunity, so I never pass it up.

    You should just wash both hands every time you do it. Normal.
